    To the originator of the post, the Clippers are actually one of the more exciting teams to watch... but anyways

    I love watching the Pistons play. They are the epitomy of what team basketball is. I also love watching them dominating the opposing team with defense. It's just so awesome seeing them making stops after stops, blocking, stealing and frustrating the hell out of the other team. I love it.

    As for the least exciting team to watch, I'd have to say the Bulls...

    This is easy, the Knicks. I cannot stand watching the Knicks play basketball. There is not a single player I look forward to watching on their roster.

    I have to admit the Lakers were boring this past season as well. They didn't give consistent effort and they were blown out quite often.

    I disagree about the Spurs and Pistons being boring. They play hard on both ends and they have impact players who can shift momentum in a game. I like watching these teams grind out wins and completely lock teams down defensively, unless it's against the Lakers of course.

    The Jazz, Lakers, Celtics, and Pacers just bore me. I also find it very hard for me to watch their home games because their arenas are so ugly and boring looking.........I think that the Conseco Fieldhouse is the worst out of all of them though.

    The Knicks are exciting to watch. There is always something going on in they're games. There is just something magical about MSG. Whether it's them lossing a 15 point lead with 11 seconds left or on the flip side they have the last player you expected leading them to victory. There is always something out of the norm with this team. Behind the 76ers, more like way behind the 76ers the Knicks are among my favorite teams to watch.

    Another team(s) I find very boring is the Clippers, Magic and Bobcats.

    I am puzzled on how some people would choose the Knicks on the most boring team to watch. Granted, I am a Knicks fan, however, throwing my bias aside, the Knicks are a very exciting team to watch and there is never a dull moment to the game. Sure they may not have the most wins, but still they are very exciting to watch.

    Needless to say, in the backcourt you have two exciting ball handlers in Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford. Jamal Crawford has some great ball handling moves and has even made players fall this season; not to mention the amounts of players he?s crossed up. This is the same guy throwing the ball of the backboard in traffic to dunk it! He also has a nice shooting touch and despite being so skinny, he has great range. This guy has also hit a 30 foot off balance game winner in Houston. Marbury is the same way but when he?s not crossing cats up or throwing 360 degree passes, he?s a phenomenal and exciting scorer. Tell me that isn?t exciting?

    Then you have players like Jerome Williams who is hustling so much, you would think he was 10 years younger. He?s always diving on the floor for lose balls, he?s also pretty athletic for someone his age and won?t hesitate to take it to the hole for a dunk. The constant barking and cheering when he?s on the bench isn?t exciting?

    Than you have Tim Thomas who is very exciting sometimes. He?s an athletic player who can shoot from the outside and he?s been on a posterization rampage as of late. Some of the names this season include Joel Przbylla, Tony Battie, and Adonal Foyle. He also hit that game winner that hit every part of the rim and bounced in.

    Trevor Ariza has so much energy has tremendous athleticism and has a lot of hops. With those long arms he gets in the passing lanes for nice dunks. The way he runs the floor is exciting, and the way he soars in the air for put-back jams is equally exciting too.

    Then you have the atmosphere of MSG where the Knicks play their best ball. It?s such an exciting place and there, the Knicks have played very well. They also had a lot of rallies this season and even though some ended up in vain, there was still excitement in the run. They?ve even rallied from 19 down with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter to beat the Sixers and sent it into OT with a shot with 1.4 remaining. In OT, they beat Sixers where Jerome Williams dunked on someone (I forgot who).

    I must say, it really puzzles me on how people can say that the Knicks are the 30th least exciting team. They have so many exciting players and play in the greatest arena in the world. If you think they?re the least exciting, it?s based on personal reasons like Shape mentioned.

    You was on a role until you said Tim Thomas is actually "exciting". I agree with you for the most part though. Players like Ariza, Crawford, Williams and Marbury makes it exciting to watch and just the whole atmosphere of MSG makes it worth watching. But again, Tim Thomas? [​IMG]
